hi all,

over the next few days im gona be installing my DVD/TV player, sub, amp and rear speakers

im sweet with all the electronics part of it, iv just never pulled apart the console on an R34

just hoping to get some tips/tricks of the trade on the R34 on pulling apart the center console, where to run the cables to the back, etc.

i was suprised that i dont have rear speakers and it doesnt look like theres any speaker cables running back there... is this normal from factory for a GT-T Sedan??

they all have rear speakers. the cables will be tucked away inthe back area.

as for removal of the original, pop the AC vents out - 2 screws, pull ashtray out - 1 screw, pop out panel - 2screws, remove radio.

you will also need an antenna adapter ($15) and harness adapter.($15) to make things work.

if you need these bits fire me a PM ( I sell them.)

Do u have speaker holes on ur parcel shelf??

tanks for that chris rogers,

n15m0 - yes i do have speaker holes in the parcel shelf, and there are the mesh speaker covers too - but no speakers.....???

i'll have a good look for the wiring too, for the rear speakers - im gona try to attempt it all tomorrow...

Also, whats the best way to to run the power for the amp and the remote cable to the boot...??

cheers

My tip is after you pull out the cage holding th stereo be very very careful what you are doing with the back of while all the cables are connected. Heaps of people have scratched the crap out of the plastic surrounds on both sides of the stereo area.

in a sedan- through the passenger foot well.

(jon you can explain it to him.)

Ummm you'd probably do a better job explaining..my amp and power cables only ran as far as under the drivers seat not to the boot. I ran my sub speaker cables from under the drivers seat to the boot. Remove the rear seats, run the cables under the rear passenger seats and thru the middle arm rest hole..

And yeah as Abo Bob mentioned...be careful when removing the facia for the head unit install...mine copped a deep scratch as well :laugh::angry:

ok, cheers for eveything so far......

back seat it out, center console is out....

what was it you said about taking the AC vents out?? are there screws behind there??

and how do you take out the vents... is there a special trick??? im scared if i break em.......

Can you post a pic up of your dvd sreen when your done please,

Thinking of putting a screen in but it looks like when it flips up it will hit the vents etc. because the headunit area sits a fair bit in.

Cheers

it will if you put it on top. put it on the bottom and it JUST clears. need a pocket to fill the void.

ok,

I hadn't had a chance to instal my system yet...

i started playing this morning, plugged the harness i got from chris (thankyou chris!! :O )

and now i have no power at all, no constant, acc voltage at all, dead to the world!!!

i checked this with my multimeter.....

checked the fuse - its fine!

all i did was take out the standard deck about a week ago - now when i plug the standard one back in, it doesnt work either....???

any ideas?? :laugh:

I got my head deck put in the top DIN spot. it does block the vents a bit, but i can adjust the angle of the screen so that it does not go back far enough to hit the temp dial. Here are a few pics of mine.

enjoy :)

ok, found the problem.... long story short, dodgy multimeter!!! lol (thats why you dont buy cheap ones... lol)

and yes i did throw it against a wall!!! lol

next question, is there a factroy hole in the firewall somewhere where i run the power cable for the amp?

and the parcel shelf - how do you take it out? I have these wierd metal brackets right across the speaker holes and they gota go if im gona put speakers in there.

I found the rear speaker cables, they were hidden near the speaker holes and sticky taped ;)

Im planning on finishing this today so i'll post up some pics once its done!

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
